When ordering food, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Venezuelan menu items that we’ve learned about:
- arepas (Quiero arepas, por favor.)
- pisca andina
- hallacas
- perico
- golfeado
- quesillo
- jalea de mango
- arroz con leche
It’s time for you to practice numbers with menu items. If you’re struggling with numbers, hold tight just a little longer. Volume 2 of You Can Speak Spanish! will guide you through using numbers in Spanish. I will provide links to help you answer the following question for our featured menu items:
¿Cuánto cuesta/n…? (How much is/are…?)
¡Que tengas un domingo distinguido! (May you have a distinguished Sunday!)
